AUDIO FILES: Listen to Walk the Moon, Crash Boom Bang

Today’s Audio Files has a theme–houses!

I can’t get Walk the Moon’s “Anna Sun” out of my head. You might have heard the band on the radio, but they have a good back story, too.

The Cincinnati-based band released “Anna Sun” on their own independent album in 2010, and later ended up with management and signed to a major label.

The band will play the House of Blues in San Diego on Nov. 14.

The song reminds me of another song from a Washington D.C.-area band. I first saw Crash Boom Bang years ago when the band was trying to win a spot at the HFSTival. They’re still around and I still rock the old demo version of the song on my iPod. This is the version of “House” off the band’s album, which has a bit of a slicker sound.
